There were many famous poets from different periods of time in Chinese history, and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today.
To arouse people’s interest in those classic Chinese poems and promote cultural heritage, China Central Television (CCTV) produced a TV show—Chinese Poetry Competition. The finale (终场) of the hit show’s second season was shown on Feb.7 this year.
Wu Yishu，16，who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode (一集), Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing”. The game’s theme was “yue”, meaning “moon”or “month”in Chinese. She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China “In July, the cricets (蟋蟀) are in the field. In August, they are in the yard. In September, they are at the door. In October, they enter and crawl under our beds.”
“I really admire her nowledge of poems,”said Huang ijin, 16, a Senior 2 student from Ningbo High School in hejiang province, “The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical loos. She fulfills all my fantasies for classic Chinese women’s talents. What’s more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual for her age.”
As the old saying goes, “One who is filled with nowledge always behaves with elegance.”“Learning poems isn’t about winning or losing. The power of poetry lies in shaping one’s view of life and developing one’s inner world,”said Li Bo, an epert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competition’s second season.
When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show’s academic advisor, suggested that teachers should eplain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (审美的) and emotional sides, and guide the students to lose themselves in the poems’rhythmic (有节奏的) and rhyming lines.
“Although the amount of ancient Chinese poetry in the tetboos of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for eams,”Li Dingguang told . “Therefore, it’s important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry. ”

A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has found a clear lin between the color of a tai and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed tai, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue tais in Singapore suggested that yellow tais have fewer accidents than blue tais. The higher visibility (能见度) of yellow maes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow tais, leading to a lower accident rate.
The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationship between the color of a tai and the number of accidents the tai had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest tai company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow tais have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 tais per month.
They also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of tais to yellow. The Singapore tai company involved in the study owns about 16,700 tais in a ratio (比例) one yellow to three blue tais. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow tais, 76.6 fewer accidents will occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of si days, switching the color of all tais to yellow could produce an annual saving of $2 million.
“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looing at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For eample, we hope to compare
the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to loo at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,”eplained Prof Ho.
28. Why do yellow tais result in fewer accidents?
A. Because yellow signals a warning of danger.
B. Because yellow can be seen more easily.
C. Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow tais.
D. Because people act more quicly in yellow surroundings.
29. What’s Prof Ho’s study based on?
A. Physical riss tai passengers eperience.
B. The economic effect of changing tai color.
C. Personal reports from tai drivers worldwide.
D. Data from Singapore’s largest tai company.
30. What do Prof Ho’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. School buses should be painted yellow.
B. Their findings are worth populariing.
C. Their study will be furthered.
D. Yellow should be widely used in public transport.
31. What can be the best title for the tet?
A. Safer to ride in yellow tais.
B. Caution yellow tais ahead.
C. Why are yellow tais preferred?
D. How can colors help prevent accidents?
D

Don’t let your bloced or froen emotions guide the way you want to lead your life. Now it is your time to finally become victorious over those past situations that have upset you during your entire life and become the winner you were born to be.
